As the main sponsor for the furry feline fest, the cable channel will have a presence onsite at the Minneapolis Walker Arts Center. Channel “spokescat” (yes, that’s a thing) Lil Bub will be there in person — er, cat — to help Animal Planet promote the return of TV special “Too Cute! Pint Sized.”

Animal Planet is unclear on the whereabouts of Grumpy Cat this time around. Last year, the two celebrity meowers met for the first time at the festival.
